Many of us have seen the “Pick Two College Triangle,” a visual representation of the stressful reality that is college. As a realistic joke, a triangle is presented with “social life” at one corner, “enough sleep” on another, and “good grades” on the third.

Many students struggle to maintain any corner of this diagram let alone all three, but it is an understood fact that no one can fulfill all three corners… Or can they?

“I think that it’s possible to have all three,” said Greta Goslee, a senior communications major. “Coming into college, it’s really hard to balance them, but eventu ally it becomes second nature.”

Greta lives with her friends, she says they study together, and then crash together. Most students find that eventually they can find a balance healthy social life, they will surely find themselves isolated and depressed.

ties and sororities were required to attend.

During the march, many of them exclaimed their disdain in participating, often saying “they had much better things to do.�

The last speaker, a member of SGA encouraged all of those who participated to think of this event not as a requirement, but as a stand against non-consensual sex. She told them to realize that, yes, it may not happen to you or someone you love, but statistically, it will happen to someone. We must stand together to stop sexual assault, but it will take all of us working together to do it.

Those who turned out for the event far exceeded expectations.

On Sept. 26, the Student Government Association (SGA) held the first annual Take Back the Night, an event to raise awareness of sexual assault on campus, and to stand with the victims whether they came forward or not.

Take Back the Night is an international association whose goals are to end sexual, relationship, and domestic violence in all forms, and with all genders. The association began to have rallies in October 1975, after a microbiologist, Susan Alexander Speeth was stabbed to death while walking home alone.

However, the first organized Take Back the Night annual conference was held at Columbia University in 2009.

The event began with all participants taking a candle and marching around the perimeter of campus in solidarity, with SGA members leading the group. After returning the candles, all of the participants gathered at the steps of Arkansas hall together, as the president and vice president of SGA spoke to the crowd.

The speakers encouraged all to participate in Title 9 training, while emphasizing that Title 9 training is a simulation, and that there is no shame in calling Title 9 even if you are a bystander.

Since Take Back the Night was a campus Kappa Sigma fraternity came out and brought signs to event, many of the participants of fraternishow their support.

How to build and maintain a healthy relationship Story by Elliott Jackson, Staff Reporter

Let’s face it, being in a relationship is a challenge, but it’s one that we all have to take. The most important thing is to know what you want and need out of your relationship.

Last Tuesday in the Garrison, a healthy relationship trivia game was set up to teach college students some important lessons about what most of them will go through at some point in their tenure at HSU. This is what I learned.

Think of the friends you currently have what about them is important to you. Romantic relationships are not that different than the relationship you have with your company. You can trust your most private thoughts and feelings with them.

Your friends share values that are similar to yours, they support you even when you make the wrong decisions, and they’re also fun to be around. If you have this in mind while you’re looking for a significant other, things may be a lot easier. In fact, that person you’re looking for is probably looking for someone just like you.

Relationships go through a number of stages, and not all of those stages are easy to maneuver.

Whatever conflicts occur, it’s always important to work through them.

What starts the majority of relationships is mutual attraction. After the initial rush goes away, take the risk of suggesting you both do something together. Go have coffee, or see a movie. If things seem like they’re working out, start spending more time together.

As you get more comfortable with each other, your relationship will be tested and you must build up trust with each other. As the problems happen they may not seem helpful at the time, but they’re critical to every relationship.

Conflicts gives couples a chance to be honest with each other and learn from each other. If you solve your problems, the relationship grows stronger. If the problem isn’t resolved, it most likely signals the end of the relationship.

To get what you want from your relationship, a good way to start is to set up agreements within your partner. Honesty is key. Talk openly about how you feel with each other, because keeping secrets will cause unwanted stress and lying will make things worse.

Not only should you communicate with each other, you make you listen as well. What your partner says is just as important as what you say.

If things start to get physical, talk to each other on safe and responsible sex and decide boundaries for your relationship. Keep in mind that sex should be guilt-free. If either of you are uncomfortable, then wait.

It is important to talk about these things when you are this far into a relationship. If either of you can’t talk about sex, then chances are you’re not ready for it.

Issues like protecting each other, what you like and dislike and what makes you comfortable has to be discussed. Having sex too early in a relationship can prevent further intimacy.

Relationships take lots of work and effort, but in the end, it just might be worth it. Your relationship will improve if you practice your relationship skills. A good relationship can enrich your life in ways you haven’t imagined before, so don’t mess it up by not being smart about it. that night.

This week’s events schedule Story by Pete Tubbs, Editor in Chief

Unbeknownst to a surprising amount of people, our campus has an incredible array of events every week. They range from fun to informative, and they number in the dozens.

For instance, Oct. 3 at 6:15 a.m. the football stadium is host to Sunrise Yoga. That’ll get your morning started the right way.

That same day from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., Alpha Sigma Alpha is hosting an awareness campaign in the Galloway Room on the negative connotation of using the “r” word. It’s called “Spread the Word to End the Word” and it’s something that

deserves notice.

The next day at 4:00 p.m. will be the opening of the play “I Am Emily Doe” which is a reenactment of a true rape case. It’s destined to be hard hitting and important and it’s definitely something that college students should be required to see.

Dr. John Corvino will come that night at 7:00 and will present a lecture about the culture wars.

In the turbulent times we live in, what could be more topical?

On Oct. 5, there will be a q&a at 6 p.m. called

“Ask a Latino” in the Reddie Cafe. Visitors will be able to ask anything they wish about anything Latino related from a real Latino.

After you “Ask a Latino,” you can head on over to the game room and participate in video game night from 6-11. If you’re not into video games, at 8 p.m. in the Planetarium you can witness the “Dawn of the Space Age.” With all of these activities it’s literally impossible to be bored. This goes to show, it’s not hard to have fun even if you’re ballin’ on a budget.

Top five things to do next week in Central Arkansas Story by Pete Tubbs, Editor in Chief

It’s the first week of October and along with this amazing fall weather, ther will also be tons of events to attend and things to do. Sometimes it’s hard to know everything that’s going on in the Central Arkansas area, so here’s a list of the top five things to do for fun this week!

#1- Tiger Tunes I know what you’re probably thinking, “Tiger Tunes is at OBU isn’t it?”

Yes, yes it is. But even though the tigers are our rivals, they put on a heck of a show. Tiger Tunes features musical arrangements from student groups on OBU’s campus.

Trust me, if you’re looking for a good time, this is a great bet. This year, Tiger Tunes runs from Wednesday, Oct. 4 to Saturday, Oct. 6. The admission is $20, but if you’ve got the change, I’d recommend spending it on this. #2- Little Shop of Horrors The Hot Springs Pocket Community Theatre will be bringing the laughs and the scares to the stage with their stage play based on the classic film “Little Shop of Horrors.” The play will be performed on Oct. 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 7:30p.m. and on Oct. 8 and 15 at 2:30 p.m.. #3- Moonlite Market with Subdue The Clark County Fairgrounds will be host to “an evening of shopping, eating and music” on Oct. 7 from 3 to 9 p.m..

Admission is $1 a person and there will be a performance from the band subdue! If you’re having a slow weekend, why not stop by and get some goodies? #4- Denim and Diamonds Barn Dance If you’re not into the Moonlite Market or

Subdue, then you can head on over to 559 Cedar Grove Road where there will be a benefit for the Percy and Donna Malone Child Safety Center.

There will be food, live music and auction items.

So go have fun and give back. #5- Blade Runner 2049 Looking for a good movie to watch? The new Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford starrer “Blade Runner 2049” comes out the night of Oct. 5. The much anticipated sequel to the 1982 original has garnered a 98% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and it’s certainly gonna be one of the most talked about films of the year.

“Die Hard” with grizzly bears: HSDFF26

Story by Pete Tubbs, Editor in Chief Flyer from arkansasbedandbreakfast.com

Now that the Horror Film Festival has passed, there’s another festival to quench your artsy tastes, and that’s the 26th Annual Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival (HSDFF). The sprawling affair goes from Friday, Oct. 6 to Saturday, Oct. 14.

Founded in 1992, HSDFF is one of the longest running documentary festivals in the world. James Whitmore of “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Planet of the Apes” was the first distinguished guest to grace the stage at the festival.

Some undeniably impressive folks have followed him since those early days including Louis Gossett Junior and James Earle Jones. Jones even said that “the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival is one of the genre’s most important venues.”

This year, Arkansans and visitors from all around will be treated with the likes of six-time Emmy Award winner Stanley Nelson, actor/singer Robert Davi of “Die Hard” fame, Oscar nominated director Werner Herzog, and the new chair of the festival, twice Golden Globe nominated Kathleen Turner.

Almost 1000 films are submitted to the festival yearly from dozens of countries throughout the world. Only about 100 are screened each year.

The opening night of the festival will be on Oct. 6. Kathleen Turner will introduce “Laddie: The Man Behind the Movies” which is the story of a girl seeking out her father who happens to be the producer of films such as “Blade Runner,” “Star Wars,” and “Chariots of Fire.”

This year, the festival will be host to a screening of Herzog’s universally acclaimed film “Grizzly Man” on Oct. 7. The film follows grizzly bear activists Amie Huguenard and Timothy Treadwell who were tragically killed by the bears they were studying. This will be followed by a question and answer session with the director.

Later that same day, there will be “A Master Class with Werner Herzog.” This will be a great

opportunity for burgeoning filmmakers to get up close and personal with the man of whom Roger Ebert stated “even his failures are spectacular.”

Time Magazine ranked him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

On Oct. 8, audiences can see “The Fabulous Allan Carr,” which details the exploits of the gay Hollywood producer who was behind films such as “Can’t Stop the Music,” “La Cage Aux Folles,” and the train wreck that was the 1989 Academy Awards.

The next day, the AETN Student Showcase can be attended for free and will have a workshop that will allow middle and high-school students whom are interested in film to learn the basics of the art form.

On Oct. 10, ten films will be screened including “Above the Drowning Sea” which shows the struggle of Jewish refugees to escape Nazi controlled Austria. “The Favored Strawberry,” which brings insight into the agricultural processes of, making

fruit available during all seasons will also be featured.

Bill Nye the Science Guy will make an appearance in documentary form along with Neil deGrasse Tyson on Wednesday, Oct. 11 in a film that shows the importance of science.

The closing night will be on Saturday, Oct. 14 and will feature a screening of “Davi’s Way,” which covers the life and times of Davi, whom will also be in attendance. The closing night after party will be at the Historic Hamp Williams Building at 9:00 p.m. that night.

Ticket prices range from Day Passes, which cost $25 a piece, to All-Access Passes, which have a price tag of $300. So whether or not you want to go all in and pay the big bucks is your choice, but it’d be a mistake to not at least attend something over the week long period. Arkansas is changing for the better, and it’s events like these that are making it happen.

The recital included three sonatas includ-

The first piece was “Sonata in D Major, Op. 94a” by Sergei Prokofiev.

It was an extremely invigorating piece and was very moving. The second piece was also very emotional piece, but in a much different way.

Their performance of “Sonata in G major, Op. 78” by Johannes Brahms actually moved me to tears.

“Games” was a fun piece, as the title would lead you to believe. It was a wonderful close to the performance, especially because it highlighted Wharton’s skills both as a violinist and composer.

If Wharton and Krebs were to return, I would attend their performance again.

There are performances coming up next week, including the New York Classical Players Chamber Recital at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 4, the NYCP Masterclass at 2:00 p.m. and NYP Concert at 7:30p.m. on Oct. 5 and a choir concert at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 10.

On the Backtrack: Long Island based hardcore band slays Story by Abbie Beaver, Arts & Music Editor Photos by Gabe Becerra, Music Photographer

Two weeks ago, Oracle reporter Abbie Beaver had the pleasure of interviewing one of her favorite bands, and the first band to get me into hardcore – Backtrack. Backtrack is a hardcore band hailing from Long Island, New York.

They’ve been a band for almost ten years now, and are putting out a new record and just finishing up the 2017 Life and Death tour with No Warning (Ontario), Twitching Tongues (Calif.), Vein (Mass.), Higher Power (U.K.), and select additional bands on certain dates.

Beaver caught them recently at the Memphis date, which was originally an off day for the tour. Ricky Singh (guitar), Chris Smith (guitar) and Danny Smith (bass).

Beaver: How did you all meet?

C. Smith: I met Vitalo (vocalist) in private catholic school, and we both ended up not staying there very long and going back to our separate towns, but I was in college and he called me up and asked if I wanted to join his band with his friend Ricky and our other friend John at the time, and that’s how I met Ricky and everyone else in Backtrack – through Vitalo.

Singh: Yeah, it was basically like two sets of friends, it was me and my friend Backtrack made the crowd go wild in Memphis.

Brian Rudder, who plays in King Nine now, and also John who plays in King Nine now, and then Vitalo kind of mashed the two because they wanted to start a band and me and John wanted to start a band, so we kind of mixed it together to just be like alright let’s start this one band. Then Chris sort of came into the picture shortly after that. Danny right here is related to Chris – that’s his brother, so a couple, four or five years down the line, we asked Danny to join the band too.

D. Smith: It was pretty natural. I was going to their shows from when they started. When they asked me to play I was out of school, and it just seemed like the right time, and it all just worked out. It was supposed to just be one tour, and it kinda just turned into a bunch of other stuff, which is just awesome. It’s been great.

Beaver : Who are some of your influences, both as individuals and a band?

Singh: – I think the band as a whole is definitely very NYHC influenced: Outburst, Breakdown, Killing Time, Madball, and Agnostic Front have all been very important bands to us, and basically shaped our sound, and the sound of what New York Hardcore sounds like in general.

Other honorable mentions for individual influences were hip-hop (Ricky), Gorilla Biscuits (Chris) and Capital (Danny).

Beaver: Who on the tour are/were you most excited about touring with?

C. Smith: I was excited for everyone, but definitely No Warning because it was their first tour in god knows how many years.

Singh: They’re definitely a band that helped shaped Backtrack’s sound, and on the younger tip, Vein and Higher Power. . . they definitely are able to set the vibe for the show every night, and kids are going crazy for both, and the response for both those bands in great. It’s great seeing younger kids being individuals and playing their own style of hardcore. I don’t think too many bands sound like Vein or Higher Power.

D. Smith: I feel like higher power carries on that 90s approach to hardcore that I find myself attached to, and it’s awesome. They’re a great band.

Backtrack’s new record, “Bad to My World” is available now for pre-order on Bridge 9 records, and is coming out on Nov. 17. For now, you can check out “Sanity” and “Bad to My World” on YouTube and order the magazine/flexi they have available on the B9 store.

Guns, drugs and Tom Cruise: “American Made” Review by Zakary Gray, Student Reporter

Doug Liman’s “American Made” is a fun film that, judging by its source material, probably shouldn’t be. Yet Liman has somehow made a film that’s fun to watch, hilarious at times, and moves at a breakneck pace that never leaves the viewer bored.

Tom Cruise plays Gary Seal, a man who starts the movie as a TWA pilot, and is recruited to work for the CIA. Cruise plays Seal as a charming and cavalier man.

He exudes a lot of energy on screen, which fits well with the tone and pace of the film. Domhnall

Gleeson is likewise enjoyable to watch as government spook Monty Schafer. He uses and later abandons Seal as he becomes too much of a liability.

The story is narrated by Seal and told through video flashbacks. What could have been a very long and confusing tale is kept on point and briskly moves forward as Seal buries himself further and further.

He’s working for the CIA and the Medellin Cartel at the same time, running guns and drugs for each respective party. He doesn’t seem to

bother himself with consequences as he says yes to more offers and makes more money. So much money, in fact, that he can’t launder it fast enough.

His wife, played by Sarah Wright, invites her sleazy brother JB, played by Caleb Landry Jones, into Seal’s operation. JB’s story is short and ends as expected, but is still shocking when it wraps up. It’s a succinct character arch that fits well within the movie.

Eventually Seal’s actions catch up with him, and he’s abandoned by Schafer and left to be dealt with by the authorities. He escapes prosecution by making a deal with the White House to help bring down the drug cartel he helped build up.

Cruise plays Seal as a complex, morally compromised antihero.

He’s charming enough to work his way into situations, but not smart enough to juggle everything he has gotten involved in.

For him, the drug smuggling and gun running is fun. He’s making loads of money, and his government turns a blind eye to his dealings with the drug cartel as long as he continues to deliver for them.

“All this is legal?” Seal asks Schafer early in the film, to which Schafer replies, “If you’re doing it for the good guys.” This exchange sums up the film’s direction nicely.

“American Made” is a film that showcases Cruise’s skill as an actor to take an unsympathetic character and make him not seem like an evil guy, just human.

OPINIONS iClone 8 Opinion by Dax Guilliams, Opinions Editor Photo from apple.com

When I was in high school, the first iPhone was released and it had me and everyone at my school losing their minds. It was world’s first true smartphone and it completely changed the world as we know it.

For years, Apple would continue to release new versions of the iPhone that would be pretty solid smartphones. However, in recent years, Apple has released iPhones that work very well, but are very lacking when it comes to features.

The iPhone 7 was one of the most disappointing phones I’ve ever used in my life. It was basically an iPhone 6, but more expensive and they got rid of the headphone jack, forcing you to use bluetooth headphones, which are not as good.

Recently, the iPhone 8 was released and it is not much better than the iPhone 8 to me.

I’ll admit that I ultimately prefer Android phones, but I still think iOS is pretty good and I really enjoyed the iPhone 6, so I’m willing to give every iPhone a fair chance.

The design of the iPhone 8 is almost exactly the same as the iPhone 7, which was almost exactly the same as the iPhone 6. To me, that’s not a bad thing. I think these phones look really nice and I’ve always enjoyed the placement of the home button on these devices.

This was a smart move on Apple’s part because many people like the design of the iPhone and prefer for it to remain the same. It’s probably the main reason the iPhone 8 was created in the first place since the iPhone X is going to be quite different than the rest.

With the iPhone 8, you can now have wireless charging due to it having a glass back. This is something every smartphone brand is doing and for good reason because while the glass backs are quite fragile, they look better and wireless charging is a nice feature to have.

The iPhone 8 is also the first to include Apple’s new A11 chip, which allows for faster speed and

better battery life.

Unfortunately, the iPhone 8 also has iOS 11 as its operating system and it has some problems.

It’s actually causing some users to experience lag and faster draining batteries. This completely ruins what Apple was attempting to do with the A11 chip.

Apple is working on getting those problems fixed, so the iPhone 8 will run like it’s supposed to.

Wireless charging and the new A11 chip are really the only new things about the iPhone 8 compared to the iPhone 7.

Apple and a few other groups hyped up the camera on the iPhone 8, but there’s almost no noticeable improvements over the camera of the iPhone 7. That’s not necessarily a bad thing as the iPhone 7’s camera was pretty good, but the iPhone 8 costing eight-hundred dollars means it should have some noticeable improvements with its camera.

Also, there might be a problem with the iPhone 8 that could be serious. There hasn’t been too many accounts of this happening, but some iPhones have faulty batteries that expand when they get too hot and it causes the phone to split apart.

If this ends up happening to too many devices, this could pose a serious problem for Apple and it means those who purchased this phone are carrying faulty equipment. Granted, it is possible that an extremely small amount suffer from this problem, but only time will tell.

My biggest complain with the iPhone 8, along with the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack again, is that it still uses an LCD screen that only has resolutions as high as 1080p. I would expect to see that on older phone models, not something from this year.

I just don’t see any reason to buy this phone unless you really like iPhones and are just dy-

ing to get a new one. Even then, I’d wait for the iPhone X and see what it’s going to be like. While it’s going to be really expensive, it could still end up being better than the iPhone 8.

But if you have the iPhone 7, you really don’t need to upgrade to the iPhone 8 because it really isn’t that much of an upgrade. The best thing about it is the A11 chip, but since that’s going to be on future iPhones, I think you should just skip this phone and wait for something better.

Reddies can’t find shelter from the Storm Story by Jordan Williams, Sports Editor Graphic by Pete Tubbs, Editor in Chief

After taking a win on their impressive road win streak of 28, the Reddies came back home hoping to transfer that success to their home game Saturday night against Southern Nazarene University.

Problems arose early in the first half of this affair as the Reddies forfeited their first possession just plays in. Southern Nazarene took possession and scored on just nine plays. They achieved a two yard rush while in the Reddies redzone, which would be the first of many touchdowns they would score that night.

Reddies attempted to respond, but an interception thrown by Evan Lassiter squashed these efforts as Southern Nazarene took this interception and found themselves scoring once again. Southern Nazarene took the lead 14-0.

Both sides held strong in the first quarter, but a late interception thrown

by Southern Nazarene and intercepted by Reddies’ Malcom Scott took the field and scored. This brought the score to 14-7 as the first quarter closed.

The second quarter was highlighted by the Reddies being the only team to find any success on the offensive end of the ball. They scored late into the second quarter and went into half time with the score tied up 14-14.

The second half opened as an all-out offensive frenzy with both teams wanting to grab the lead before heading into the final quarter. The lead changed hands several times as both teams were in each other’s end zone on multiple occasions.

Southern Nazarene scored first after a six play possession capped off with a 14 yard crossing pass for a touchdown. Reddies took the field eager to respond, but settled for a field goal attempt that placed the score within a four point margin of 21-17.

Southern Nazarene scored yet another touchdown after an arduous 12 play affair that ate away most of the time reaming in the quarter. However, the Reddies used what little time was left to string together a quick seven play possession and scored into the fourth quarter. They were just behind Nazarene 28-24.

Reddies had high hopes to achieve their first at-home win, but they would have the aspirations crushed as Southern Nazarene dominated the fourth with an early touchdown. The clock winded down at the end of this one, the final Score Southern Nazarene 42 – Reddies 24.

The Good Cecil Langston had a career high in rushing with 71 yards on only 12 attempts

Austin Bennet and Fernando Van hook combined for a total of 147 offensive yards Sheldon Watson totaled 11 tackles while grabbing his fourth interception of the year The Bad Evan Lassiter threw a total of 2 interceptions both resulting in two touchdowns scored by the Crimson Storm, Lassiter has thrown 5 interceptions on the year.
